Paula Cole returns to the stage with THIS FIRE: 30—a special anniversary tour celebrating three decades of This Fire. A Grammy-winning singer-songwriter known for her fearless writing and genre-blending sound, Cole broke boundaries with songs that were both deeply personal and universally resonant.  
  
On THIS FIRE: 30, Paula will perform This Fire in its entirety—revisiting the era-defining music that sparked a generation and bringing new life, nuance, and power to the songs fans have carried with them for decades. Expect an intimate, emotionally charged performance that honors the original spirit of the album while showcasing the artistry and perspective she’s continued to evolve.  
  
Spanning 50+ markets across the US, the UK, and Europe, THIS FIRE: 30 marks a major touring moment for Paula Cole—one of her most far-reaching runs in years—celebrating a classic album and the enduring connection it created with listeners around the world.  
  
Cole won the Grammy for Best New Artist in 1998 and was the first woman nominated in her own right for the Producer of the Year Grammy. A stint as the lead female vocalist for Peter Gabriel on his 1993–94 Secret World Tour led to a trio of ’90s albums that established Cole as a fearless singer-songwriter, known for her genre-bending and boundary-breaking sound. In recent years, she honed a love for jazz and folk standards, while her newest album, Lo (2024), stays true to her authentically soul-stirring style as it beautifully blends vulnerability with joy. This Fire cemented Cole as one of the most distinctive voices of the 1990s, earning her a headlining spot on Sarah McLachlan’s Lilith Fair tour. She has collaborated with everyone from Peter Gabriel, Jason Isbell, and Dolly Parton to Herbie Hancock, Emmylou Harris, and Amy Lee of Evanescence.  
  
For fans of: Sarah McLachlan, Alanis Morissette, Sheryl Crow, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Shawn Colvin, KT Tunstall, Natalie Merchant, and Tori Amos.
